South Africa Turns the Screw on Mugabe

South Africa has refused to give a $1 billion bailout unless conditions aimed at restoring democratic government are met. China, which has provided buses, passenger planes and fighter jets in the past year, gave only $30m after it received warning telephone calls from the presidents of Nigeria and South Africa.
Quoted by Judith who says: This is almost too good to be true. Is it possible that South Africa and Nigeria are willing to play the role of responsible adults on that continent?
